There's just one round to go at the Manhattan Open and you can follow
the action on Monroi. Among the tourney's many surprises: 17-year-old Parker Zhao's
shocking win in round seven over GM Giorgi Kacheishvili.
Update: IM Vladimir Romanenko and GM Alexander Shabalov tied for first, winning over $5200 each, with Romanenko taking home the title on tiebreak. Full story coming soon!

Tournament director Steve Immitt said, "Giorgi sure looks like he's winning the game hands down against his 200-point lower-rated opponent-- a pawn up and an unstoppable b-pawn on the 6th rank to boot. But now Parker, playing the Black pieces, uncorks an amazing "game-changer" with his 49th move-- and the spectators (not to mention Kacheishvili) are left scratching their heads as to what just happened!"
